Key result
African American women linked to ~64% higher return-to-OR risk after CLTI revascularization versus White women.
Why the study?
Does African American race affect perioperative outcomes in women undergoing lower extremity revascularization for CLTI compared to White women?
Cohort (n=4,086)
Yes
Does African American race affect perioperative outcomes in women undergoing lower extremity revascularization for CLTI compared to White women?
African American women undergoing lower extremity revascularization for CLTI have a significantly higher risk of returning to the operating room and longer hospital stays compared to White women, highlighting racial disparities in perioperative outcomes.
May warrant closer monitoring in African American women with CLTI; leaves open mechanisms and equity implications pending prospective validation.

Dogbe et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) (n=4,086). African American race vs. White race was evaluated on Return to the operating room (RTOR) for any indication (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.32-1.88, p=<.001). African American women undergoing revascularization for CLTI had a significantly higher risk of return to the operating room compared to White women (OR 1.64).
